With inReach satellite technology from Garmin and a satellite subscription, you can stay in touch globally. You can send and receive messages, navigate your route, track and share your journey and, if necessary, trigger an SOS to get help from a 24/7 global emergency response coordination centre via the 100% global Iridium® satellite network.
Know before you go. Receive weather forecasts directly on your inReach device, so you can make educated decisions based on local conditions or the destination ahead. Choose from 3 forecasts: basic, premium non-marine and premium marine.
All inReach-enabled Garmin products offer GPS navigation — ranging from compass and bearing capabilities to basic grid waypoint marking and breadcrumb trails to sophisticated on-map guidance with detailed topographic maps, altimeter/barometer/compass reference and more.
When wirelessly paired with select inReach devices via Bluetooth® wireless technology, the free Earthmate® app lets you use your smartphone or tablet for texting, tracking, map viewing and triggering an SOS from anywhere via your inReach device's connection. Earthmate also lets you access downloads of topographic maps and more on your mobile device.
In case of emergency, trigger an interactive SOS1 message to GEOS, the Garmin-powered International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) with professional 24/7 global monitoring. Trained staff is available to respond to your messages, track your device and notify emergency responders in your area – giving you the peace of mind that help is on the way. The Garmin IERCC will stay in touch with you and your emergency contacts until your situation is resolved. Visit the Saved by Garmin blog to see how inReach has helped real people.
Garmin products that include inReach technology are designed to keep you connected. The Iridium satellite network lets you send and receive custom and preset text messages or emails with a delivery confirmation.
The Garmin Explore™ and Earthmate® apps let you view your current location, plan and navigate routes, set and manage waypoints, and more from our smartphone or tablet. When paired with a compatible inReach device, you can use the apps for 2-way messaging, tracking and SOS capabilities over the 100% global Iridium network. No matter which inReach device you have, you can use the Garmin Explore website to plan your trip and view routes you’ve stored on your device.
Use compatible Garmin watches, marine chartplotters, handhelds and other devices to trigger an SOS, send and receive preset messages, see detailed weather and more.Find compatible devices
